What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I could listen to Tamerra Griffin talk about anything and getting to hear her insight on my favorite sport? The best. I really look forward to all the ways this podcast has expanded my knowledge about the global game.

Elephantae · May 2026

Knowledgeable hosts, always informed, but also pretty entertaining. Best in class for a “regular people” women’s soccer pod IMO.

rf5858 · Dec 2025

This is a go-to to stay up to speed in the women’s game. Professional, digestible, and an easy listen. Tamera and Meg get into the nitty gritty like no one else can frankly. Jillian is such a delight, nice to see her podcasting expertise hit the Athletic. Keep em coming!

Matt S RBNY · Aug 2025

I listen to almost all the women’s soccer podcasts out there and I find this to be one of the most fair and honest shows. I love how they cover things that other pods do not. I appreciate hearing different voices and takes. But the episode on the Women’s African Cup of Nations is what inspired me to write this review. What a way to give coverage and visibility to all the great talent coming from Africa! As an Orlando Pride fan, I’ve been following the tournament so much this year because of our 3 players participating. I enjoyed listening to the interviews with the photographers too painting a live picture of the action. Thanks for enhancing the voices of women soccer around the globe!
